Volunteer as a Mentor

Mentors do not need to have a mentoring qualification to
volunteer as mentors on the Maternity Mentoring Scheme. The Bar
Mentoring Service appreciates that every barrister may have had a
different experience, and we welcome applications on the basis that
your knowledge and experience are of greater value to mentee.

Maternity Mentoring provides an opportunity to give back to the
profession by sharing past experiences, and perhaps offering
better alternatives for mentees to consider.

The Bar
Council encourages barristers who have taken career breaks in the
past to consider coming forward as mentors.

Please read through the Guidance
Document before submitting your application form. This
will provide further information about the scheme, its objectives
in its pilot year, and details what is expected from you as a
mentor.

Your application form should include a short biography of your
experience, and what ever information you deem valid to inform the
Bar Mentoring Service when administering the matching
process.

Applications forms are available here,
and should be submitted to Mentoring@BarCouncil.org.uk.
Please also complete the Equality and Diversity Monitoring Form.

Alternatively, if you would prefer to send the form via post,
please mark it for the attention of:
